Law, Lawyers and Race

Critical Race Theory is a familiar and important strand of North American legal scholarship, but it is virtually unknown in Europe. This book aims to bring Critical Race Theory  to a European context. Outlining its development in North America, and bringing its insights to bear upon European law and legal scholarship, the book outlines the elements of a European Critical Race Theory. For law, it is demonstrated, is just as deeply involved in constructing, discriminating and subordinating racial minorities in the European context as it is in the American one – even if, as this book shows, it does so in different ways.
